i-ntE BONDS.

The county commissio oners at their last
session found but one bid awaiting them
for the proposed bonds to fund outstand-
ing Indebtedness That proposition was
made by Mr.. Fulton and was to take
bonds in the amount of 10000 at seven
per cent. and sallow the county @2s5
premium on the issue. The commits
ssioners desire tosdoat the bonds at six
per cent, and refused the bid. The next
meeting will be in January when the
subject will be again considered. The
bonds will be glltredged securities, and
we presume the commissioners know
what they are doing However, as the
people desire to shift the burden of debt
to the future, in older that all lands not
now cultivated, and future incoming
capital. may share in carrying it, we
hope some action will be taken. IF
capitalists and bond buyers are not APP
prised Of the sale further advertising
should be resorted to; if they are ap-
plised of the sale six per cent. bonds are
not very marketable.

THE AN71-DIKt33ON CONVENTION
Is over and the majority of the delegates
have returned home, sadder and wiser

Preston was one Of the best things OF

Spnnger's letter is considered to be q
strong indication of the purpose Of

equlvocal and in no sense binding on bis

more or less criticised on account Of two

been too prominent in past factional
quarrels to properly represent q move
